"Intelligent people drink more."

The UK's National Child Development Study has been ongoing since 1958, when it initially classified its participating youths as "very dull," "dull," "normal," "bright," or "very bright." The children from these different groups grew up to drink alcohol in similar proportions, with "very bright" subjects drinking the most, followed by "bright" subjects, and so on. This trend is true for both British and American children. Psychology Today argues that with all other demographics are accounted for, it's not that more intelligent people wind up in social situations where drinking merely happens to be more likely; rather, it appears to be that intelligence is a contributing factor in motivating some people to drink in the first place.
